The API returns structured data related to the FIFA FIFPRO World XI selections. The "get available award years" endpoint returns a list of years, the "get world XI by year" endpoint provides the complete team for a specified year, and the "get player info by name" endpoint delivers detailed player profiles, including nationality, age, squad, position, and year of selection.
Key fields include "year" for the award years, "FIFA_FIFPro_World_XI_[year]" for player names in a specific year, and player details such as "Player," "Nation," "Age," "Squad," "Pos," and "Year" in the player info response.
The response data is organized in JSON format. For the award years, it returns an array of years. The World XI endpoint returns an object with the year as a key and an array of player objects. The player info endpoint returns an object with detailed player attributes.
The "get available award years" endpoint provides a list of years, the "get world XI by year" endpoint offers the full team selection for a specified year, and the "get player info by name" endpoint gives detailed statistics about individual players, including their club and position.
The "get world XI by year" endpoint requires a "year" parameter, while the "get player info by name" endpoint requires a "player" parameter. Users must ensure these parameters match the available data from the respective endpoints.
Users can leverage the data to analyze historical player performance, create visualizations of team compositions over the years, or compare player statistics. For example, developers can build applications that showcase the evolution of the World XI or highlight standout players by year.
Typical use cases include sports analytics, journalism, fan engagement applications, and historical research. Analysts can compare player performances across years, while journalists can reference historical selections for articles or reports.
The data is sourced from official FIFA FIFPRO records, ensuring high accuracy. Regular updates and quality checks are implemented to maintain the integrity of the information, providing reliable data for users.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
